“Winged gothic” is how Yehudi Menuhin described Sydney’s Opera House. “Music and architecture are related in the sense that they both share structures" he continued. "A great cathedral can be thought of as frozen music”.

Joan Sutherland, Robert Helpmann, Cleo Laine, Janet Baker plus many young artists in early stages of their career, perform and talk about the House. Our camera goes backstage and into the cavernous theatre vaults and Concert Hall to capture the energy and skill of artists and technicians. Filmed over a period of 10 months,Frozen Music marries high performance with popular participation. (1984, 54 mins)
